The Silence of Mary by Ignacio Larrañaga
This book presents a penetrating analysis of Mary, the mother of Jesus, based solidly on canonical Scriptures without appealing to traditions or apocryphal writings. Written by gifted Capuchin priest Ignacio Larrañaga (1928-2013), The Silence of Mary stands as his best-selling work, printed in forty editions and translated into twelve languages.
Scripture-Based Marian Analysis
Larrañaga reconstructs the personality and history of the Virgin Mary through careful examination of biblical texts. The approach remains firmly grounded in canonical Scripture, making it accessible and valid for Christians of all denominations. This ecumenical perspective provides a sound basis for interfaith dialog while maintaining Catholic orthodoxy.
Born and ordained a priest in Spain, Ignacio Larrañaga was sent to Chile by the Capuchin Order at age thirty-one. He traveled extensively, giving conferences and organizing Prayer and Life Workshops that met with great success. His sixteen books reflect his eagerness for readers to experience a deep connection with God, though he remains relatively unknown in North America despite his impact in Latin America.
New English Translation
While The Silence of Mary was translated into English approximately twenty-five years ago, only limited copies were distributed and never reprinted. This new version presents an authentic translation from the original Spanish text, faithfully expressing what Larrañaga wrote with such power in his native language. It serves as an excellent introduction to the author's theological perspective and writing style.
Book Details
This paperback edition makes Larrañaga's insights on Mary accessible to English-speaking readers interested in biblical study, Marian devotion, and Christian theology. The book combines scholarly analysis with devotional depth, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of Mary's role in salvation history through the lens of Scripture.
Among the sixteen books written by the gifted Capuchin priest Ignacio Larrañaga (1928-2013), The Silence of Mary is the best sold, printed in forty editions and twelve languages. The personality and history of the mother of Jesus has been reconstructed by means of a penetrating analysis based solidly on the canonical Scriptures without appealing to traditions or apocryphal writings. Although Catholic in its orthodoxy, Larrañaga's description is valid for Christians of all denominations, which makes this book a sound basis for ecumenical dialog.
Born and ordained a priest in Spain, the Capuchins sent him to the province of the Order of Capuchin Friars Minor in Chile at the age of thirty-one. In his eagerness for all to get a deep God experience, he traveled to many countries giving conferences and organizing courses and workshops. The Prayer and Life Workshops, which he founded, met with great success in the United States. However, since his aim was primarily focused on Latin America, those in North America rarely recognize his name and he continues to be little known.
Although The Silence of Mary was translated into English about a quarter of a century ago, only a few copies were distributed, and the book was never reprinted. In order to remedy that gap, we now present to the North American public an absolutely new and authentic version of Larrañaga's best seller. It is translated from the original, faithfully attempting to express in English what was written so powerfully in Spanish. Therefore, it serves as an excellent introduction to the mind of the author.
